Analysis of Judith

Jabulani Mhlaoli 1998 (Sebokeng)



With every sunrise,
Beauty is born —
There's more to life
than nurturing your odds;
Don't let your demons
tell you otherwise -:
Everybody is a sinner,
including the one
that was crucified;
I mean, He only
left us for heaven
And from heaven
As He watches us bleed
to triumph -:
